This negatively-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed the presence of a number of influenza virus virions. This virus is a Orthomyxoviridae virus family member.

Micrograph of Neuraminidase and Hemagglutinin “spikes”
This negatively-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) depicted a small grouping of a number of influenza A virions, which also revealed at this very high magnification, the neuraminidase and hemagglutinin “spikes” protruding from the virions’ proteinaceous capsid coats. At its core, the genome consists of eight single-stranded segments of a negative-sense RNA ((-) ssRNA). Influenza A virions can be observed as being both spherical and filamentous in nature. Each strand is enclosed in, or “encapsidated” inside the viral nucleoprotein, thereby, forming what is known as the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particle.
Russian Spring-Summer Encephalitis (RSSE) Virions
This negatively-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed the presence of numerous Russian spring-summer encephalitis (RSSE) virions, which are members of the virus family, Flaviviridae. RSSE is transmitted when one is bitten by a Ixodes persulcatus hard tick, and is therefore, referred to as a “tick-borne encephalitis” (TBE).
Human Parainfluenza Virus Type-4a (HPIV-4) – Paramyxoviridae family, genus Rubulavirus
This transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed the presence of the human parainfluenza type 4A virus (HPIV-4A), which like the mumps virus, is also a Paramyxoviridae family member, and a member of the genus, Rubulavirus.

This transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed the presence of the human parainfluenza type 4A virus (HPIV-4A), which like the mumps virus, is also a Paramyxoviridae family member, and a member of the genus, Rubulavirus.
A/New Jersey/76 (Hsw1N1) Virus
Under a plate magnification of 37,800X, this colorized transmission electron micrograph (TEM) depicted the A/New Jersey/76 (Hsw1N1) virus, while in the virus’ first developmental passage through a chicken egg.
